Sony 350: 5.71" x 4.11"
Sony 300: 6.2" x 4.2"
Astak PocketPro: 6" x 4.1"
Netronix Pocketbook: 5.5" x 4.6"
Cybook Opus: 5.9" x 4.3"
I wish the pictures didn't keep trying to show them isolated, or sized up to match the 6" readers. Would like to see them next to something that gives a sense of scale. (I suppose they don't want to do that if they're showing them with some of the awful formatting Sony uses for its ebooks; the 5" screen with their 12-point, line-between-paragraphs public domain books would look cramped. Or they show them with an epub from Fictionwise so it looks like they hold a huge page full of words.)
And looking up the numbers reminded me how much I want a smaller reader. And since Astak's dragging their feet on making them available, I'm going to actually look the other options.
